Two Acts, and the certificate names which
An Indian marriage certificate is issued under one of two laws and says which on its face. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 registers a marriage that has already been solemnised, and applies where both spouses are Hindu, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 both solemnises and registers, regardless of religion, and is the route for inter-faith couples.
Which Act appears on the certificate therefore says something about the couple, and it is translated exactly rather than generically. Registration is by a state registrar, so formats vary between states as much as between decades — see our Indian birth certificate page.
Which language is it in
A certificate may be in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Urdu or another language, frequently bilingual with English, and the English half is sometimes a pre-printed form with the substance filled in only in the regional language. Send it and we will tell you what it is in — we cover Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada and Urdu at the same price.
A partly-English document still needs the rest translated, and the translation covers the whole page rather than only the parts not already in English.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Does it matter which Act my certificate is under?
It is part of what the document says, so we translate it exactly. What it means for your case is a question for your attorney.
My certificate is partly in English already.
Common, and the rest still needs translating. We translate the whole document rather than only the non-English parts.
We married religiously and registered later.
Ordinary under the Hindu Marriage Act, which registers a marriage already solemnised. The certificate records the registration and we translate the dates exactly as printed.
